Takato Yonemoto
- Actor

- Additional Crew
While eating ramen noodles for lunch at a Japanese market in Los
Angeles, Takato Yonemoto was approached by a talent scout, and in less
than a week, he auditioned for the $225 million, 3D epic 47 Ronin. Just
a few weeks later, without any acting background, he found himself in
Europe on a five-month shoot, as a principal actor in 47 Ronin,
starring in one-on-one scenes with Keanu Reeves! Japanese-born Yonemoto
is a classic Hollywood miracle. Educated in Japan, he worked in a
mental hospital before coming to study in the U.S. A long-term film
buff, Yonemoto now appears on the big-screen himself, for a worldwide
audience, and today is one of the premiere up-and-coming Asian stars on
the global scene.
